1 EXT. NIGHT. HOUSING PROJECTS -- MOSCOW 1
SMASH CUT
MOTION -- flat out -- it's us -- we're running -- stumbling
-- breathing rushed -- blood in the snow...
We are JASON BOURNE and we're running down an alley...
Supered below: MOSCOW
BLUE LIGHTS -- from the distance -- strobing through the
night -- rushing toward us -- POLICE CARS -- three of them -
- SIRENS HOWLING as they bear down -- closer -- faster --
until they whip past the alley...
Up against the wall -- BOURNE is hidden in the shadows.
BOURNE is badly wounded -- shot through the shoulder --
bruises and broken bones from the final car chase in
SUPREMACY...
With a GROAN, he lifts himself up, staggers across a park
toward a PHARMACY...
4 INT. NIGHT. PHARMACY -- MOSCOW 4
ROWS of MEDICINE and FIRST AID supplies, and in the
background, a DOOR being jimmied...It's BOURNE...The ALARM
goes off...
MACRO ON -- MEDICINE BOTTLE
VICODIN, as BOURNE grabs it...Then PENICILLIN...
Then SURGICAL SUPPLIES:
Scalpel...Forceps...Sutures...Cotton gauze...Betadine...
BOURNE finds a large sink...Rests his gun there...Lays out
SURGICAL SUPPLIES...Checks out his back in the
mirror...Opens the capsules of penicillin and pours the
powder directly into the wound...Begins treating himself...
5 EXT. NIGHT. PHARMACY -- MOSCOW 5
A POLICE CAR pulls up to the curb, lights flashing. One
POLICEMAN goes to the jimmied DOOR. SECOND POLICEMAN sees
blood and footprints. He motions to his partner to
follow...
6 INT. NIGHT. PHARMACY BATHROOM -- MOSCOW 6
BOURNE finishing up -- splashes water on his face -- he
seems a man on a mission. He looks up --

A MIRROR.
His face...
FB1 FLASHBACK -- JUMBLED STREAKY IMAGES: FB1
"415" written on a building.
DISEMBODIED VOICE (HIRSCH)

DISEMBODIED VOICE (V.O.)
You'll be saving American lives.
A black sack is thrown over Bourne's head, then:
(STOCK) A torrent of quick shots of Bourne's kills: the
Professor, Jarda, the blonde guy in Paris, Mr. And Mrs.
Neski...
And finally. BANG -- Marie hit in the head. The car off
the bridge. She sinks away dead...
6A INT. NIGHT PHARMACY -- MOSCOW 6A
The POLICE enter the back room, guns drawn.
POLICEMAN #1
Put your hands on your head and
turn around slowly!
BOURNE snaps out of it, doesn't move. POLICEMAN #1 (older)
approaches him. When BOURNE doesn't respond to his
questions, the POLICEMAN starts forward. BOURNE turns and
in one motion grabs his gun from the sink and disables the
POLICEMAN.
BOURNE freezes POLICEMAN #2 with his gun and a look.
BOURNE
(in Russian)
Give me your gun and radio.
POLICEMAN #2's gun and radio skittle across the floor.
3
BOURNE
(in Russian)
My argument is not with you.
BOURNE smashes the radio and takes the gun.
BOURNE exits...

8B EXT. DAY. LANGLEY, VA 8B
Establishing shot -- CIA Headquarters
8C INT. CIA -- DAY 8C
A workman installs a nameplate that reads: Ezra Kramer,
Director, CIA.
8C INT. KRAMER'S OFFICE -- DAY 8C
Kramer listens to a recording with Landy and Cronin. There
are unhung pictures and a few other items that indicate he
has just moved into this job.
4
Two other senior CIA officials sit in on the meeting. Kramer looks at a file on Bourne and Abbott.
BOURNE (V.O.)
So we got in the way? Is that
why Neski died? Is that why you
killed Marie?
Kramer glances at a photo of Marie in the file.
ABBOTT (V.O.)
You killed Marie the minute you
climbed into her car. The
minute you entered her life she
was dead!
Kramer looks at Abbott's official photo.
BOURNE (V.O.)
I told you people to leave me
alone! I fell off the grid. I
was half way around the world.
ABBOTT (V.O.)
There's no place it won't catch
up to you. It's how every story
ends. It's what you are, Jason.
A killer! You always will be.
THUMP!
CRONIN
We think that's Bourne hitting
him on the head and then--
He makes a gun with his hand, i.e. Bourne putting his gun to Abbott's head.
ABBOTT (V.O.)
Go ahead! Go on! Do it!
BOURNE (V.O.)
She wouldn't want me to. That's
the only reason your alive.
The tape clicks off.
KRAMER
Who's "she?"
CRONIN puts a picture of MARIE in front of KRAMER.
LANDY
His girlfriend, Marie. She was
killed in India three weeks ago.
Kramer looks down at another image. Abbott dead after his suicide.
5
KRAMER
A dirty section chief in league
with a corrupt Russian
Billionaire commits suicide when
confronted by Jason Bourne. You
couldn't make this stuff up.
(holds up the photo of
Abbot dead)
You watched this happen?
Landy nods. Kramer shakes his head in disgust at the whole situation.
KRAMER
Bourne's last confirmed location
is Moscow, three days ago?
LANDY
Right.
KRAMER
So what does he do now?
LANDY
I think he's looking for
something he hasn't found.
KRAMER
Like what? What's he after?
LANDY
I'm not sure. Maybe he hasn't
gotten his memory back yet. Not
all of it.
A look from Kramer...
KRAMER
Pam, what I need to know is, what
kind of a threat is he to us?
LANDY
If he just wanted to hurt us he
could have sent this tape to CNN.
KRAMER
Maybe he still will. Maybe he
gave it to you because he wants
to throw you in the opposite
direction of his real plan. I
don't know. I just know my
number one rule is "the only way
to stay safe is to assume the
worst." As far as I'm concerned
Bourne is a serious threat until
proven otherwise.

(Daniels says nothing)
The girl he was on he run with --

24 INT. DAY. MARTIN'S APARTMENT -- PARIS 24
The charm of old Paris captured in the workings of an
elevator operating in a wrought-iron shaft...
7
A WORK TABLE, covered with sheet music, music paper, pencils. And, sitting on the upright piano against the wall, a framed PHOTO of MARIE...
A KNOCK on a door beautifully, heavily lacquered with centuries of paint...
MARTIN KREUTZ, late 20s, opens the door and finds BOURNE. A long look between them -- like two lost brothers who recognize each other -- each has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
INT. CONTINUOUS. MARTIN'S APARTMENT
Martin looks out the window.
MARTIN
Where is my sister?
BOURNE
She's dead. She was killed.
MARTIN
I knew it was going to end this
way. It was always going to end
this way...
BOURNE
I didn't believe that.
MARTIN
Why did she die?
BOURNE
She was shot. A man came for me.
MARTIN
And then you killed him.
Bourne nods.
MARTIN
Now what?
BOURNE
Someone started all this...and
I'm going to find them.
Bourne looks at him for a beat and leaves.
EXT. SUBWAY -- DAY
Bourne climbs the stairs.
Bourne rounds a corner and stops, sees a bodyguard at a door up the street hail a car then go back inside.
8
Bourne walks up to the door, the bodyguard comes out again.
Bourne knocks him aside. Grabs the man behind him,
ELLATRACHE.
BOURNE
(in French)
Who started Treadstone?
The bodyguard comes back, gun out--
ELLATRACHE
(in French, to
bodyguard)
It's OK!
(in French, to Bourne)
They're still looking for you.
You are taking a big risk coming
here.
Bourne shoves him against the wall, hard.
BOURNE
(in French)
Just tell me what I want to know!
ELLATRACHE
(in French)
I just provided them weapons. I
don't know who started--
BOURNE
(in French)
You know something. Tell me
where to start looking.
ELLATRACHE
(in French)
There's a journalist in London.
Simon Ross. He seems to know a
lot about you. He has a source
inside the program. Someone
there from the beginning. What
should I tell them if they
contact me?
BOURNE
(in English)
They give me the name I want, or
I burn their entire house down to
get it.
16 EXT. DAY. HEATHROW AIRPORT -- LONDON 16
ROSS hurries to catch a TAXI as he talks on his cell phone.

ROSS
...This is big -- a skein of lies

finished, either.

As they pass through, colleague hands WILLS a file.
WILLS
Yeah, thanks Mike. We have a
survey team covering him at
work...and a sneak and peek's on
their way to his apartment.
VOSEN
Well, who talked to him? How did
he find out about Blackbriar?
WILLS
We don't know, we pulled his
background and ran a cross check
on any known anomalies, but we've
come up with nothing. But, I
think if we follow Ross, we are
going to be able...
VOSEN
Right. Ross is easy. I want the
source.

ROSS'S information come up on the center screen.
VOSEN
Our target is a British national,
Simon Ross, a reporter. I want
all his phones, his blackberry,
his apartment, his car, bank
accounts, credit cards, travel
patterns...I want to know what
he's going to think before he
does. Every dirty little secret
he has. And most of all, we want
the name and real time location
of his source.
This is NSA priority level 4, any
questions?

following me?
BOURNE
Whoever they are it's trouble.
ROSS

Negative.
ROSS
He's got a gun.
BOURNE
Negative. Keep straight ahead.
But ROSS swerves out of his path as the BIN MAN pulls out --
a bunch of keys.
CCTV CAMERAS turn -- ZOOMING IN ON ROSS.
64H INT. DAY. CRI HUB -- NEW YORK 64H
Ross' face on all screens.
TECH#1
We got a hit. Middle of the

VOSEN pacing.
VOSEN
We're losing him! We cannot
afford to lose him!
Frenzied teching as they capture and transmit an image of
Ross to...
96 EXT. DAY. TAXI RANK -- WATERLOO 96
PAZ flipping open his phone. A voice crackling in his

WILLS gives orders...
96 INT. CAR TRAVELLING-- MEPHAM STREET -- DAY. 96
PAZ pulling into a side street. Out towards a series of
arches that lead underneath the terminal. In his ear...
VOICE
Target moving towards the stores.
ANOTHER VOICE
Asset in play. ETA thirty
seconds. All exits covered.
PAZ through the archway. Grabbing a station plan. Studying
it.
98 Through a subterranean maze of corridors. Up steps. 98 Through doors.
On his way to the kill zone.
99 EXT. CONCOURSE-- CONTINUOUS -- DAY 99
ROSS moving through crowds around the departures board.
BOURNE hearing that last exchange in his earpiece too.
Asset in play?
BOURNE
Keep moving...
BOURNE's POV: AGENTS closing the box. The departures board.
Platform 7. A train waiting.
BOURNE (CONT'D)
Faster....
Commuters waiting for the platform
BOURNE (CONT'D)
The front...

Suddenly -- CLICK -- PLATFORM 7 displays.
A wave of commuters flooding away -- sweeping the AGENTS
back with them towards platform 7.
BOURNE (CONT'D)
GET IN THE STORE.
BOURNE'S bought them thirty seconds.
100 INT. TUNNELS ABOVE THE CONCOURSE -- DAY 100

Opens another security door and moves up some steps.
Towards a ladder.
100A EXT. CONCOURSE WATERLOO -- SIMULTANEOUSLY -- DAY 100A
The AGENTS regrouping. Speaking into their radios.
Voice
He's in the store -- still moving
east.
ROSS out into the open again. In front of him another STORE
COMPLEX.
BOURNE
INSIDE!
BOURNE searching the concourse. Something bothering him.
The threat level clicking another notch.
102A/B INT. MAINTENANCE AREA-- SIMULTANEOUSLY -- DAY 102A/B
PAZ heads up some stairs to a service platform.
Climbs a ladder.
101 EXT. CONCOURSE -- CONTINUOUS -- DAY 101
ROSS into the store complex. To one side is a service
doorway.
BOURNE sees the AGENTS approaching. Looks the other way --
up at the hoardings above.
Something's not right. Treadstone instinct.
BOURNE
Service doorway -- Now!
27
64H INT. NEW YORK HUB -- SIMULTANEOUS -- DAY 64H
An image of Ross as he enters the store complex appears on
the screen.
TECHY 2
Store. Three means of egress.
VOSEN
Close him down...
105 INT. STORE COMPLEX -- SIMULTANEOUSLY -- DAY 105
ROSS through narrow store corridors. Sheer panic now.
Two of the AGENTS move in after him.
BOURNE behind them.
BANG - takes the first out silently.
BOURNE
Keep moving.
ROSS moving out to the light as another AGENT follows.
BOURNE (CONT'D)
Through the store room.
ROSS travelling through. The second AGENT right behind as-
BOURNE steps out from behind the store room door. The dull
snap of bones as second AGENT falls to the floor.
64H INT. DAY -- CRI HUB 64H
On a screen VOSEN watches, transfixed, as BOURNE takes out
all his agents and then grabs ROBB...
VOSEN
Jesus Christ, that's Jason
Bourne.
WILLS
Maybe he's the source?
VOSEN
It doesn't matter, the asset now
has 2 targets. Take them both
out.
WILLS taps in the order...
102B INT. MAINTENANCE AREA-- DAY 102B
PAZ moves cross a narrow walkway.
28
Now he's behind a mechanical 'tri-panel' hoarding. The kind
that displays a different advert every 15 seconds. He waits
for the change and then---
-- A huge field of vision across the concourse stretching
out down below him- a sniper's heaven.
PAZ pulling open the motor-casing from the side panel, goes
to work on it.
Slowing the rotation. Rearranging the large triangular
prisms to give him just the right time-gap to pull the
trigger- and just enough cover to disappear.
He takes out rifle parts from his rucksack. Starts to
assemble them.
102C INT. BEHIND THRESHERS (BEHIND THE SILVER METAL DOOR) 102C
BOURNE
I'm going to get you to safety
but you have to stay calm do
exactly what I say.
ROSS
(fear-induced autopilot)
Sure, okay.
BOURNE
No, listen to me: Exactly what I
say this time. Understand?
Ross snaps to focus. Looks Bourne in the eye.
ROSS
Yes.
BOURNE
Stay here while I look for an
escape.
Ross nods.
102B INT. MAINTENANCE AREA 102B
PAZ puts together the rifle.
103 INT. WATERLOO STATION 103
BOURNE exits from the silver door behind Threshers. He
stays on the phone with Ross.
Hidden from the view of the CCTV cameras by the thick
crowd, Bourne sees the approaching agents abruptly pulling
back.
29
ROSS (PHONE V.O.) (CONT'D)
I can see the entrance from here
I can make it out--
BOURNE
No, stay behind that door.
64H INT. HUB 64H
CCTV view of the silver door behind Threshers that ROSS is

WILLS
There. That silver door.
Bourne's behind that door?
TECH
Confirmed.
WILLS
Okay, pull the agents back and
give Bourne's location to the
asset.
107 INT. MAINTENANCE AREA 107
On his cell phone Paz receives a text indicating Bourne's
location. Paz finds the silver door and aims his rifle at
it.
SCOPE POV
A shape barely visible moving behind the window. (It's
Ross but Paz and the Hub think it's Bourne.
111 INT. BEHIND THRESHERS / WATERLOO CONCOURSE-- DAY 111
INTERCUTTING BETWEEN ROSS AND BOURNE:
Bourne spots the agents pulling back per Wills' orders.
ROSS (INTO PHONE)
If I run now I can make it--
BOURNE (INTO PHONE
No. Something's not right.
107 INT. MAINTENANCE AREA 107
Paz awaiting his shot--
30
SCOPE POV
The door comes open slightly, but from this angle Paz
doesn't have a clean shot at his target (who he thinks is
Bourne).
111 INT. CONCOURSE -- WATERLOO 111
Bourne searches the rafters, looking for any threats from
above.
ROSS (TEL. V.O.)
I'm going to go for it, okay?
BOURNE
Don't move until I tell you.
Bourne is distracted by the last of the agents
disappearing. Something is definitely wrong--
ROSS
I'm going to go for it.
BOURNE
No, No not now.
Ross suddenly sprints out from behind the door--
110A SCOPE POV 110A
Paz sees the shape emerge--
110A INT. MAINTENANCE AREA -- DAY 110A
PAZ fires--
111 INT. WATERLOO -- SERIES OF ANGLES 111
But it's Ross, not Bourne. Ross is hit by Paz's shot. He
falls, inches from the silver door, dead. Blood has
splattered on the door.
110A INT. PAZ'S NEST 110A
Paz snaps his head back to the scope, realizing he's shot
the wrong person. Then he catches a glimpse of Bourne--
Bourne ducks behind the gathering crowd, out of Paz's line
of sight, and goes to the body.
31
64H INT. HUB 64H
Vosen and Wills stare at the screen. At the image of Ross,
dead on the concourse. The room -- normally full of
chatter has gone dead silent...
Vosen puts his head in his hands. This is a monumental
screw up and everyone here knows it. He just had the
wrong man killed....
VOSEN
Oh...shit...
Then suddenly Vosen snaps back to focus:
VOSEN (CONT'D)
Get the asset out of there ...
WILLS
What about Bourne?
On the HUB MONITORS we see Police moving in... Vosen
doesn't need to see anymore.
VOSEN
Get him out of there - NOW!
111 INT. WATERLOO -- DAY 111
Bourne feels Ross' body for something.
110A OMITTED 110A
110A PAZ'S NEST 110A
Paz is frustrated by the order. He's itching to get another
shot off at Bourne, but after a beat, packs up quickly, as
ordered.
111 INT. WATERLOO -- DAY 111
Back in Waterloo, Cops run in from all sides.
111A INT. DAY. WATERLOO STATION 111A
On the screens and in real life, the aftermath of the hit.

instantly by the head shot meant for BOURNE...POLICE arrive
and seal off the crime scene...
32
113 EXT. CONCOURSE WATERLOO -- SIMULTANEOUSLY -- DAY 113
BOURNE on the move. Fast --
Past platforms. On his way up to the Tri Panel.
Up stairs. On to a walkway. To his right he sees a figure
disappearing...
PAZ.
BOURNE hammers down the walk - way in pursuit.
114 EXT. PLATFORM AREA -- DAY 114

blending in...
BOURNE in pursuit. Chasing on instinct.
There...A glimpse of PAZ at the bottom of an escalator.
BOURNE fights past people.
PAZ disappears into the crowd.
BOURNE rushes to catch him. Rounding a corner...
A long walkway -- at the end, two staircases lead to
different tube lines. BOURNE hesitates-- measures the
choice.
The sound of a train fills the station--
BOURNE -- Fast downstairs.
Watches-- just as PAZ gets onto the car at another door.
BOURNE lunges to get on the train...But the doors close...
BOURNE'S POV
Watching PAZ from the platform as he SAGS down onto a seat,
nauseated, his skin clammy, his head pounding...He takes
out the PILLS and dry-swallows them...Looks up...
CLOSE ON -- BOURNE
Watching PAZ...As if he's looking in the MIRROR at his old
self...The self before THE BOURNE IDENTITY...
33
CLOSE ON -- PAZ
He looks straight ahead, just another commuter...
BACK ON -- BOURNE
Watching PAZ, as the train pulls away...Then BOURNE is
immediately in motion...
119 INT. DAY. DIRECTOR'S OFFICE -- CIA -- LANGLEY, VA 119
KRAMER
Hello.

It's Vosen. We have a situation.
119B EXT. NIGHT. DANIELS OFFICE -- MADRID 119B
Establishing Sewell and Marbury.
120 INT. NIGHT. DANIELS OFFICE 120
DANIELS watches news of ROSS murder on TV. DANIELS panics,
opens his safe, packs up papers, takes Blackbriar FILE.
Sets alarm. Leaves.
120C EXT. NIGHT. INTERNET CAFE -- LONDON. 120C
BOURNE sits at a computer, the ROSS notebook open in front
of him. He pages through it, finding names, places, "HOW
DID THIS ALL START?" -- and Blackbriar. He Googles
"Sewell and Marbury"-- finds Paris, Berlin, Madrid. BOURNE
continues to search and finds receipt from Madrid.
BOURNE leaves.
123 EXT. DAY. POSH HOTEL -- NEW YORK CITY 123
LANDY steps out of a TAXI...
123A INT. DAY. POSH HOTEL -- NEW YORK CITY 123A
Vosen's sitting.
VOSEN
(to waiter)
Sparkling. And a "Heart-Healthy"
omelet with goat cheese and
peppers.
Landy arrives.
34
VOSEN
You're late. Traffic?
WAITER
(handing her the menu)
Ma'am?
LANDY
Nothing for me.
Vosen looks at her, surprised.
VOSEN
I'm buying.
She shakes her head, no. She sits, without taking her coat off. She's not staying long.
VOSEN
When the Director called, it was
suggested we bring you on--
LANDY
Suggested?
(beat)
Are you sure it was just a
suggestion?
VOSEN
Funny how different things look
depending on where you sit. I
look at this as doing a favor for
you. Giving you an opportunity
to complete some unfinished
business.
LANDY
Meaning?
VOSEN
Jason Bourne.
LANDY
Bourne's finished.
VOSEN
Really?
LANDY
It was finished the moment I
realized I was chasing him for
something he didn't do. The
case is closed.
35
VOSEN
So what do you make of this?
(handing her
surveillance photos of
Bourne in Paris)
French intel picked up Bourne
meeting Pierre Elattrache on
Tuesday. He threatened to burn
our house down if you didn't tell
him who started Treadstone.
That's a big problem, wouldn't
you agree?
LANDY
This doesn't feel like Bourne to
me.
VOSEN
Why's it so hard for you to
believe?
LANDY
Probably because it's coming from
you, Noah.
VOSEN
Lets try and be adults okay? We
all thought he was done, off the
grid. But Bourne's back. Maybe
he's a threat. We both want the
same thing here.
LANDY
So what happened at Waterloo?
VOSEN
We have a leak. Bourne showed up
in our surveillance. We had very
little time to react.
LANDY
And the reporter ended up dead?
VOSEN
Bourne saw us coming.
Landy looks at him, suspicious.
LANDY
So what was he doing?
VOSEN?
We don't know. But just the fact
that he was there means he's up
to something, don't you think?
Maybe he's the source?
36
LANDY
The real question is how you
managed to get in a fire fight in
the middle of a public train
station.
VOSEN
Don't second guess an operation
from an armchair, Pam. It's not
fair.
LANDY
I'm going to the office now.
I'll make my own introductions.
Off VOSEN...
125 EXT. DAY. ATOCHA TRAIN STATION -- MADRID 125
AN AVE train pulling into the vast station. BOURNE stepping
out, walking up the platform.
Moving out through the station...
125A INT. DAY -- CRI HUB 125A
TWO NEW TECHS plus the three we met before. All watching
VOSEN lead LANDY and CRONIN into the room.
WILLS
This is Pamela Landy. She's
gonna be quarterbacking our
search effort. I think what we
oughta do, just to get started,
let's go around the room, say who
you are and what your spec is.
LANDY stepping in before this gets going --
LANDY
Let's do names later.
(she's got the floor)
What's Bourne's last fixed
position?
(impatient)
Anybody.
TECH#3
London. Twelve hundred Zulu.
LANDY
Status? Wounded? Armed?
TECH#2
Alive. Mobile. Unknown.
37
LANDY
Where are your grids coming from?
TECH#1
NSA Tactical.
LANDY
You have an Echelon package?
TECH#1
Yes.
LANDY
Why isn't it on?
TECH#1
We were waiting.
LANDY
For what?
(no takers)
You're nine hours behind the
toughest target you've ever
tracked. I want everyone to sit
down, strap in, and turn on all
you've got.
(beat)
That would mean now.
That lights it. They're moving.
LANDY (CONT'D)
Thank you.
VOSEN watches...
LANDY (CONT'D)
I want everything you've got on
Ross on screen one.
LANDY watches as the screen lights up with ROSS
information...
125B EXT. DAY. SEWELL AND MARBURY -- MADRID 125B
Bourne arrives, begins to recon the area.
He goes to the front door finds "Sewell and Marbury" and
rings the bell. No answer. Two cops come around a corner.
Bourne sees them, notes the side of the building and
leaves.
38
125E INT. DAY. CRI HUB -- NEW YORK CITY 125E
TECH#1
Sir, we just hacked Ross's email
account at the Guardian and found
a round trip ticket to Turin,
yesterday. 0800 arrival, 12:05
departure.
LANDY
I think we can be pretty certain
that Bourne's not your source
then?
VOSEN
How?
LANDY
Ross's call to his editor, where
he said he just met the source on
Blackbriar, took place just after
his flight landed. His met his
source in Turin.
VOSEN
So?
LANDY
So, what, Bourne met Ross for
breakfast and then, at noon the
same day Bourne calls Ross to
demand a meet at Waterloo?
CRONIN
(Needling Wills)
Maybe they were even on the same
flight?
VOSEN
Cross check the secure cell phone
usage of everyone with Blackbriar
SCI clearance against all calls
in and out of Turin during the
morning Ross was there
TECHNICIANS start pounding keyboards.
LANDY
The guy you're after is a CIA
operative with clearance above
Top Secret. He was committing
treason by talking to Ross. Do
you really think, while doing
that, he used a cell phone he
knows we can track?
TECH 3 (JIMMY)
Zero results on the cross check.
39
VOSEN stares daggers at her.
WILLS
Do you have a better idea?
LANDY
Yeah, I'd look at all the people
whose cell phones were switched
off the entire period Ross was in
Turin.
WILLS
Do it Jimmy.
TECHNICIANS start tapping.
LANDY
(looks at Cronin)
I mean if your people use their
cell phones as much as mine do,
the list should be pretty small
TECHNICIAN 3 JIMMY
Three names: Tom Brewster, Jack
Boulin, Neal Daniels.
The names display on the screen: Tom Brewster, Jack Boulin Neal Daniels.
The HUB employees can't help but be impressed by LANDY. WILLS and VOSEN notice their response.
LANDY
Now check everything in Ross's
apartment against those names.
Look for common patterns, look
for -
CRONIN
Initials .....Bring that up on
main.
LANDY turns. CRONIN is leaning down in front of a computer screen. Point to something for the tech --- who puts it on the big screen, blown up.
In a set of handwritten notes by ROSS it says "per N.D."next to several scrawls.
LANDY
Neal Daniels. He's Station
Chief in Madrid now, isn't he?
WILLS
Jesus Christ.
40
VOSEN
Call the RSO at the Embassy and
have them take Daniels into
custody if he's there. If he's
not, get a grab team to the
Calle Norte safe house. Send
them in heavy and tell them we'll
assist with entry.
LANDY
"Heavy?" Daniels isn't--
VOSEN
I'm worried about Bourne. If he's
not Ross's source, then he must
be after Ross's source -- just
like us.
Off LANDY...

shredded, some not.

Bourne fights every human instinct to draw a breath. Also
shot from Bourne's POV:
HIRSCH (FILTERED, EERIE)
You're going to drown. There is

Twisting into the path to shoot as the door opens,
hesitating because-
It's NICKY.
A beat -- long unbroken.
BOURNE
What are you doing here?
NICKY
I was posted here after Berlin.
BOURNE
Where's Daniels?
The office PHONE goes. Bourne waving her to it. She picks
it up. He hits the speaker phone.
127H INT. HUB 127H
NICKY (V.O.)
Hello.
VOSEN
Who is this?
NICKY (V.O.)
This is Nicky Parsons. Who's
this?
Landy reacts to her voice...
Both Vosen and Landy strongly suspect Bourne is there and
listening...
Vosen reads her "Duress Challenge" identity check off the
screen. It reads:
Challenge: "Sparrow"
Response if Under Duress: "Ruby"
Response if Normal: "Everest"
46
VOSEN
Nicky, I need to do an ID
challenge first. Code in:
"Sparrow."
Vosen looks at the screen to check her response...
NICKY
Response: "Everest".
VOSEN
Nicky, this is Noah Vosen. How
long have you been on site?
NICKY (V.O.)
I just walked in.
VOSEN
We have two officers on site.
Are you in contact with them?
NICKY (V.O.)
They're down. Unconscious, but
alive.
VOSEN
Is there any sign of Daniels?
NICKY (V.O.)
No.
LANDY
Nicky, this is Pam Landy. We
have reason to believe there is a
connection between Neal Daniels
and Jason Bourne.
NICKY (V.O.)
Bourne, are you still looking for
Bourne? I thought the case was
closed.
LANDY
No, some people are convinced
he's still a threat. I disagree
but to find out I need to talk to
him.
VOSEN seething because LANDY has interrupted him...
VOSEN
Hold on Nicky.
Vosen hits the mute button.
VOSEN
What are you doing? You know
Bourne's probably listening.
47
Landy doesn't answer. Vosen to Wills:
VOSEN
How long till back up arrives.
Wills holds up three fingers. Vosen unmutes.
VOSEN (CONT'D)
(into microphone again)
Listen, Nicky. I want you to
stay put and secure the premises.
It could be an hour until another

BOURNE answers her in perfect Spanish with a perfect Madrid
accent, but worked up, like a civilian would be...
BOURNE (SUBTITLE)

And men shouting. I think
they're Americans --
BOURNE pushes the phone off the desk -- fires four shots
into the ceiling -- calmly moves Nicky towards the back
door...
127H INT. HUB 127H
VOSEN
You "disagree" he's a threat? He
just took out two more of my men.
Not to mention his ultimatum to
Ellatrache?
LANDY
The only way this has a happy
ending, Noah, is if we find a way
to bring Bourne in voluntarily.
VOSEN
He wants revenge, Pam. The only
realistic way to deal with this
is to eliminate the threat.
139 INT. NIGHT. BACKSTAIRS 139
BOURNE and NICKY rapidly descend.
BOURNE
Okay, where is Daniels headed?
NICKY
8 o'clock this morning, he wired
$100,000. to a numbered bank
account in Tangier.
BOURNE
Okay, Tangier is about 300 miles
away, we can make the morning
ferry.
NICKY
And then what?

Yeah. Nicky's just the means.
But if we find Daniels, we'll

Daniels knows way too much.
Daniels knows everything. We

BOURNE and NICKY sit over coffee. A long silence...then:
NICKY
What are you after, Jason? Why
are you looking for Daniels?
BOURNE
Do you know who this is?
Bourne puts the photo of Daniels and Hirsch on the table
between them. She looks at the photo, points.
NICKY
That's Daniels.
(points at Hirsch)
I don't know who that is.
BOURNE
I have to get back to the
beginning...or I'll never be free
of this.
NICKY
Who is he?
51
BOURNE
I think he started Treadstone. I
remember meeting him. I
remember the first day...

Daniels brought me to him.
Nicky looks back at him....not sure what to say.
NICKY

BOURNE
An initiation...I guess...

R145 INT. NIGHT. TRUCK STOP -- SPAIN R145
Bourne comes out of the flashback. Nicky is looking at

NICKY
Jason...that wasn't some one-off
initiation. Daniels said they
did that to you over and over
again. That's how they...
She doesn't finish. And Bourne doesn't ask her to. Just
a long pause.
BOURNE
Why are you helping me?
NICKY
It was difficult for me...with
you.
BOURNE looks up. Another long pause...
NICKY (CONT'D)
You really don't remember

CRONIN makes his way down the hallway.
LANDY works at her desk. CRONIN enters...
CRONIN
They tracked Daniels' passport to

made to keep him in place while
they move an asset in from
Casablanca.
Off LANDY. This just keeps getting worse...
145C INT. VOSEN'S OFFICE 145C
Landy enters without knocking.
LANDY
Since when do you have
authorization for lethal action
against Daniels?
VOSEN
Since he cleaned out a Blackbriar
safe and fled to Morocco!
LANDY
So grab him--
VOSEN
I don't have the people on the
ground to do that and I'm not
going to risk that file falling
into the wrong hands.
LANDY
What's going on? What's Daniels
got?
53
VOSEN
What's he got? He ran all of
Blackbriar's operations in
Southern Europe and North Africa.
LANDY
I think the world's well aware we
have a rendition and lethal
action capability at this point,
Noah.
VOSEN
For Christ's sake, Pam, he's got
our entire playbook. Names,
dates, ghost sites, how we train
our assets.....
LANDY
You still don't have the
authority to kill him.
VOSEN
Oh, yes I do, Pam.
Vosen holds up the file we saw him pull out of his safe.
It is labeled "Blackbriar: Lethal Action Protocol."
VOSEN
That's what makes us special. No
red tape. No more getting
badguys in our sights and then
watching them escape while we
wait for some bureaucrat to issue
the order.
Landy opens up the file. Sees the words "instantaneous
lethal action is authorized when..."
LANDY
You just decide? No oversight.
No checks and balances.
VOSEN
Come on, Pam, you've seen the raw
intel. You know how real the
threat is. We can't afford to
have our hands tied like that
anymore.

Next Bourne rushes toward the parked cars. Smashes the
window of one to set off its alarm. Then a second and a
third, setting off their alarms.
The fourth window Bourne smashes in doesn't set off an

search for Bourne, but can't find him at first...
Bourne gets the car engine on - but, given the wonders of
modern anti-theft technology his steering wheel is still
locked.

A second CRI car arrives.
Bourne slams the car into low gear and backs up at high
speed.
He smashes into the car across the aisle from him. With a
sharp metallic snap the wheel in Bourne's car is suddenly
free, he jams the car into drive pulls out into lane and
stops.
Three CRI cars here now. Two head straight for him. A
third blocks the exit ramp.
Bourne checks the rearview and sees two more agents pour
from the elevator lobby, one carrying the serious firepower
of an M-4 (an M-16 variant whose bullets can penetrate
metal and concrete). They move into position to get a bead
on him.
Bourne assesses. But he doesn't move. The agents swarm
toward him. What the hell is he doing? Why is he waiting?

But before they can get a bead--
Bourne slams the car into reverse again. Petal to the
metal in reverse--
The agents open fire.
Bourne ducks the lead slugs ripping through the windshield.
But there's no dodging the shower of broken glass.
As Bourne disappears below the dashboard, the CRI agent
adjusts his fire into the car's grill.
Virtually blind, Bourne races the hard-pressed vehicle
backwards as the agent's fire decimates the car's
driveline.
Bourne slips the car into neutral and takes a quick peek
behind him.
85
Steers still speeding but quickly dying car towards a small
gap between two parked cars at the edge of the parking
structure.
Bourne's car splits the gap between the parked cars, hits
the base of a low angled wall that slams the back of his
car up and over the wall.
Bourne is pounded as his car jounces onto the wall, a
second later the front end seesaws over the top, the sudden
angle change exposes for an instant the bottom of Bourne's
car, to the shooters.
Several rounds rip through the floorboard and tear past
Bourne's head just before his car drops upside down for 25
feet and slams onto a row of parked cars.
The impact rips Bourne from the seat and slams him hard
against the roof.
Bourne struggles out of the car, knowing he has only a
moment before the armed agents will fire down into his over-
turned car.

275 INT./EXT. PARKING GARAGE -- TWO LEVELS BELOW ROOFTOP 275
Bourne cuts off a guy cruising for a parking space and
pulls him from his car and races away as the agent from the
roof lands hard behind him.
Bourne's race to the exit is cut off as a 3rd CRI sedan
slides into view and it's occupants open fire on Bourne in
a head on charge.
The just stolen vehicle takes heavy fire as Bourne reacts
instantaneously; thumbing on the cruise control,
shouldering his door open, and slamming the gas pedal to
the floor as he dives out of the car.
The agents react as Bourne's sedan torpedoes them head on.
Hit hard they're taken out of the fight as metal collapses,
glass shatters, and airbags explode.
Bourne tumbles to a stop at the rear of a parked car as his
car implodes against the oncoming agents.
87
Instantly Bourne is on his feet, moving between the parked cars to engage another CRI sedan traveling parallel to the course of the wrecked one.
The agents in this sedan are distracted by the still echoing crash and are caught off-guard as Bourne steps out and points his gun at the driver.
The driver ducks and floors his gas pedal in a desperate effort to save his own life. As the sedan suddenly accelerates, Bourne deliberately shifts his aim to the sedan's front tire and fires.
The tire explodes and the car suddenly veers left and slams into a parked car, pitching the driver violently against the unyielding interior of the sedan.
An instant later Bourne rips the radio off the dazed drivers belt just before he cold cocks him with it.
With the wreck still echoing through the garage Bourne has to deal with the arrival of the first NYPD sedan.
Bourne takes on the persona of an alarmed witness as the on edge cop climbs out of his car but Bourne's performance is cut short as the agent running from his drop from the roof, arrives and opens fire.
The police officer goes down in the hail of gunfire as Bourne turns and expertly drops the gunman with a single shot.
The increasing volume of squealing tires alerts Bourne to a new threat, he pulls the officer into some cover and grabs the officer's radio.
BOURNE
10-13. Shots fired. Officer
down. Port Authority parking
lot. Level four.
Bourne rips a piece of his sweater off and ties a makeshift tourniquet for the officer. Then he hands the cop his radio back.
BOURNE (CONT'D)
Stay out of sight until one of
your own arrive.
Bourne disappears.
We pick him up as he jumps into the cops car and guns the engine and heads for the exits.
CRI agents are confused for a second -- until they pick up the NYPD car exiting Port Authority on one of the ramps. But that's all the time Bourne needs--
88
276 OMITTED 276
277 EXT. CROSSTOWN STREET -- DAY 277
Bourne turns on his lights and siren and speeds east,
followed closely by a CRI sedan.
As cars yield to Bourne's siren a taxi tries to jump into
Bourne's wake but a CRI sedan punches the taxi back to the
right. It ricochets off several parked cars before
regaining control.

281 EXT. CROSSTOWN STREET -- DAY 281
Bourne struggles to keep his over-matched vehicle ahead of
the more powerful CRI Sedan which tries to spin Bourne out
by hitting his bumper.
Bourne tacks right quickly and barely avoids a stopped car.
The CRI sedan flanking Bourne's slams into the rear of that
car, spinning it 180 degrees into the path of the trailing
CRI sedan which destroys itself in the resulting collision
and blocks the path of the other CRI sedan.
282 INT. BOURNE'S CAR -- DAY 282
Bourne is home free. He looks around and spots a sign that
indicates a right turn and says "To Holland Tunnel / US
95." Bourne turns right--
Suddenly the window next to his head explodes as two more
shots rip through his door to tear a jagged wound into the
top of Bourne's leg.
REVEAL Paz, his SUV racing along the curb lane. As
Bourne's car crosses in front of a small car stopped at the
intersection Paz swerves his car into that car and punches
it into the side of Bourne's car.
Bourne's car is knocked spinning, Paz keeps charging
forward and slams into the back of Bourne's car. With his
front tires spinning wildly Bourne fights to straighten his
car as another CRI sedan appears and tries to box Bourne's
car by sliding into his path.
283 OMITTED 283
89
284 EXT. MANHATTAN STREET -- DAY 284
Bourne just manages to punch his car into the right rear of
the CRI Sedan and race down the Avenue with Paz and the
slightly damaged sedan in pursuit.
Paz gains on him and Bourne is forced to swerve violently
to deny Paz the kill shot he is all too capable of.
Just ahead of Bourne, two government SUVs slide into the
intersection completely blocking his path.
Bourne instantly spins his car 180 degrees and continues
on, barreling into the roadblock backwards.
As Bourne's car plows through the SUV's he whips the wheel
and his car spins through a reverse 180 as Paz and the
other sedan race through the wreckage in Bourne's wake.
Paz and the CRI sedan are all over Bourne as he slides a
right hand turn onto South St. as Paz and the CRI sedan
overwhelm Bourne's battered vehicle.
284A OMITTED 284A
287 INT. BOURNE'S CAR -- DAY 287
On his police radio, Bourne singles out an NYPD officer
(call sign Alpha-2503) racing toward the intersection just
ahead.
Bourne slows, then speeds up quickly to time it right:
The CRI car almost hits his bumper, then has to accelerate
through the upcoming intersection. As he does, the cop car
Bourne was listening to on the radio slams broadside into
the CRI sedan drafting the bumper of the mangled cop car.
Swerving wildly Paz avoids the pileup and slams his heavy
SUV into the back of Bourne's car, pushing him into the
oncoming traffic.
Several cars swerve left and right as Paz pushes Bourne
sideways onto the ramped end of a K-Rail dividing the
street ahead.
The nearly upended car grinds down the K-Rail until the
rear of Bourne's car strikes an obstruction which punches
it back into the lane as it slams against the front of
Paz's SUV, knocking the SUV sideways, into a row of parked
cars.
Bourne's car hits parked cars on the other side of the
road.

WILLS (cont'd)
Fifteen. Seventy-one. What do
they mean?
Wills grabs his headset--
288A EXT. CRASH SITE -- DAY 288A
A CRI agent approaches Vosen.
CRI AGENT
Landy gave Bourne a false
birthday. Wills thinks it's a
code.
It sinks in for Vosen...oh...shit...
289 EXT. SEVENTH AVENUE -- DAY 289
BOURNE emerges into the crowed street, headed uptown.
289A INT. HUB 289A
Wills watches the techs work.
TECH #3

variants of latitude and
longitude you get Cameroon --
Peru -- Colombia --
TECH #2
-- San Francisco's got a four-one-
five area code --
TECH #1

TECH #4
That's correct.
Wills like he's been hit. Like hard. As we cut to --
289B INT. VOSEN'S SUV -- DAY 289B
They race uptown.
WILLS
She gave him the facility. She
gave him--
VOSEN
(into cell phone)
I know.
(to driver)
Go! Go! Drive!
(into cell phone)
We're already on our way. Turn
the teams around. Bring them in
behind me.
291 OMITTED 291
292 OMITTED 292
303 INT. VOSEN'S SUV -- LATE AFTERNOON 303
Vosen steely eyed as they race uptown. He dials a number--
304 EXT. UPPER EAST SIDE -- LATE AFTERNOON 304
Bourne reaches 71st street and 2nd Ave. He looks up at the
sign...
306 INT. HIRSCH'S OFFICE (NEW BUILDING OF HOSPITAL) -- LATE 306 AFTERNOON
Hirsch's office is located in the SRD's "front office",
which is located covertly on a floor of the new building of
the hospital. He is the longtime head of SRD and a
powerful behind-the-scenes official at CIA.
THE CAMERA FINDS
DR. HIRSCH, 70, is, put simply, not a man to be trifled
with. He's a 45 year CIA veteran. One of the great brains
in the Agency's history, but also a man who knows how to
wield power silently, invisibly, and to tremendous effect.
His phone buzzes.
93
DR. HIRSCH (INTO PHONE)
Hello.
306A INT. VOSEN'S SUV -- LATE AFTERNOON 306A
VOSEN at the other end of the line --
VOSEN (INTO PHONE)
Bourne knows everything. I think
he's heading for you right now.
Dead pause.
306 INT. HIRSCH'S OFFICE (NEW BUILDING OF HOSPITAL)-- DAY 306
HIRSCH (INTO PHONE)
He's coming home, Noah.
There's a wistfulness in the way he says it. But also the
sense that this was absolutely inevitable. And he's calm
about it, doesn't show any fear, doesn't reach for a gun.
HIRSCH (INTO PHONE)
How long do I have?
VOSEN
Not long. Get out of there.
HIRSCH
No. I'm going to stay.
VOSEN
Are you crazy, he'll--
HIRSCH
He'll come to the training wing.
That's what he knows. I'll keep
him in play until you arrive.
309R EXT. NEW YORK -- HOSPITAL -- LATE AFTERNOON 309R
Bourne arrives at the "Johnston Medical Center." He looks
up to see "415".
FB5 FLASHBACK FB5
The image of "415" that has been haunting his dreams.
309 EXT. NEW YORK -- HOSPITAL -- LATE AFTERNOON 309
This is the place... When he looks down Landy steps out of
the lobby to meet him on the sidewalk.
94
BOURNE
They'll kill you for giving me
this place.
LANDY
4/15/71 isn't much of a code. My
guess is Vosen's already on his
way.
BOURNE
Why'd you do it?
LANDY
This isn't us, David. What they
turned you into, what they're
doing with Blackbriar... This
has to stop.
BOURNE
Then stop it. Everything you
need is in there.
Bourne hands her the black bag and enters the hospital.
LANDY
David... Come in with me. It's
better if we do this together.
BOURNE
(shakes head)
This is where it started for me,
this is where it ends.
She watches the doors close behind him.... Landy lets him
go.
323 EXT. NYC STREETS -- LATE AFTERNOON 323
QUICK SHOTS of six different CRI sedans and SUVs rushing
toward the hospital.
309R EXT. HOSPITAL -- LATE AFTERNOON 309R
Landy looks in the backpack.
JUMPCUTS:
--She unzips the backpack and looks in at the the
Blackbriar Operations File.
--A cover page inside: "utmost secrecy"... "potentially
explosive public reaction would jeopardize the program"...
--Another page: "Terminated" stamped across the photos of
victims. Next to the victim from the inciting incident,
the words: "US citizen"...
95
LANDY
Oh, my God...
--A third page, more photos, no "terminated" on these.
Future victims. "US citizen" stamped next to each one...
310 INT. HOSPITAL -- LATE AFERNOON 310
Bourne uses the card reader he took from Vosen's safe to
enter a "restricted access elevator." A guard comes.
Bourne aims his pistol at him as the elevator door closes.
309R EXT. FIRST AVENUE -- OUTSIDE HOSPITAL -- LATE AFTERNOON 309R
Landy walks down the street. She looks up to spot two
black sedans speeding east on 71st, turns south -- two SUVs
coming up York. Shit--
323 INT. VOSEN'S SUV -- LATE AFTERNOON 323
A block south of the hospital, stuck in traffic, Vosen
points.
VOSEN
Landy! Right there! She's got
Bourne's backpack!
310R INT. 8TH FLOOR ELEVATOR LOBBY -- LATE AFTERNOON 310R
Bourne flips up the elevator stop button and uses the
access card to enter a secure corridor--
323 INT. LOBBY -- LATE AFTERNOON 323
Landy runs across the lobby.
323 EXT. FIRST AVENUE -- LATE AFTERNOON 323
Vosen's SUV careens to a stop behind a bunch of traffic.
Still a half block from the entry door but it's close
enough--
322 INT. CORRRIDOR 322
Bourne rushes down a nondescript corridor--
325 INT. HOSPITAL LOBBY -- LATE AFTERNOON 325
Vosen and CRI agents rush into the lobby.
96
VOSEN
(to a group of six
agents)
I'll find Landy. You get to the
training wing and get Bourne!
A security guard comes over.
VOSEN
Do you know who I am?
(the guard nods)
Where's your security room?
324 INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR 324
Landy looks around. Finds an open office. She pushes open
the door and runs to the fax machine. She starts faxing
the Blackbriar documents Bourne took from Vosen's safe.
324A INT. SECURITY ROOM -- LATE AFTERNOON 324A
Vosen enters.
VOSEN
I want to see all your footage
for the last three minutes.
322 INT. SRD TRAINING WING (OLD BUILDING OF HOSPITAL) -- LATE 322 AFTERNOON
Bourne stares down the corridor from his dreams, the
corridor Daniels lead him down in his flashback.
We see Bourne go into--
FBA3 FLASHBACK FBA3
That first day, Bourne's POV being led down this corridor
by Daniels.
322 BACK TO SCENE 322
Bourne moves down the corridor.
322 INT. SRD TRAINING WING (OLD BUILDING OF HOSPITAL) -- LATE 322 AFTERNOON
Bourne reaches the end of the hall. He looks around
"flashback style" --
97
FBB3 FLASHBACK FBB3
Bourne was standing at this door....
331 INT. OFFICE -- LATE AFTERNOON 331
Vosen enters the room. The last pages have been faxed...
LANDY
You better get a good lawyer.
She exits...
322 BACK TO SCENE 322
Then spins, gun up--
Hirsch is there, halfway down the corridor behind him.
HIRSCH
Put the gun down. I wouldn't be
here if I didn't want to talk.
BOURNE
I've spent three years running.
Three years trying to find out
who I was.
Hirsch moves toward Bourne, completely unfazed by the gun.
HIRSCH
You still don't have it all back,
do you? You haven't filled in
all the pieces?
BOURNE
Let's start with the moment you
found out I wouldn't execute
Wombosi. The amnesia wasn't the
issue, it was the fact that I
didn't pull the trigger....
HIRSCH
One lapse meant your conditioning
had failed.
Bourne grabs Hirsch and slams him against the wall
BOURNE
It was always you, behind
Conklin, behind Abbott.... They
were just following orders.
Bourne grabs Hirsch and pushes him to the wall. Searches
him for weapons.
98
HIRSCH
(completely calm)
I'm unarmed, Jason.
BOURNE
(shoving Hirsch hard
against the wall)
"David." I'm David Webb.
CLOSE ON Bourne's face--
HIRSCH
You were David Webb, but not
anymore.
322 INT. SRD TRAINING WING CORRIDOR -- LATE AFERNOON 322
Bourne stands with Hirsch.
BOURNE
Why me? Why did you pick me?
A beat...
HIRSCH
You really don't remember, do
you?
(beat)
You picked us, Jason.
BOURNE
What does that mean?
HIRSCH
You volunteered.
Hirsch uses his free hand to hit the keypad on the wall.
The "room in use" sign lights up.
Bourne looks up "flashback style"--
FBA1 FLASHBACK FBA1
Bourne remembers that keypad, that "room in use" sign from
the first day...
322 INT. ROOM WHERE BOURNE FIRST MET HIRSCH 322
Bourne and Hirsch enter...
HIRSCH
You volunteered right here....
You didn't even blink, Jason.
You just handed me these...
99
Hirsch removes a pair of dog tags from his jacket pocket.
Holds them out to Bourne.
Bourne takes the dog tags. Stares at them.
INSERT of the dog tags:

Bourne hands over his dog tags....
HIRSCH (CONT'D)
Has everything been explained to
you.
BOURNE
Yes, sir.
322 PRESENT DAY 322
HIRSCH
You were a soldier ready to serve
his country. Just like thousands
of others, except you were a
prodigy with languages...and a
perfect shot.
FBB3 FLASHBACK FBB3
HIRSCH (CONT'D)
Your missions will save American
lives.
322 PRESENT DAY 322
BOURNE
You said I'd be saving American
lives. Instead you just turned me
into a killer.
Bourne raises the gun to Hirsch.
HIRSCH
You could have left at any time.
And you knew exactly what it
meant for you if you chose to
stay.

FB9 FLASHBACK FB9
HIRSCH
When we're finished with you,
you'll no longer be David Webb.
BOURNE
I'll be whoever you need me to
be, sir.
322 PRESENT DAY 322
HIRSCH
Stop running from the truth,
Jason. You chose to come here!
You chose to stay! And no matter
how much you want to forget
it...eventually you're going to
have to face how you chose, right
there, to become Jason Bourne!
FB10 FLASHBACK: FB10
Bourne sitting in a chair, looking terrible. Hirsch looks
at him from behind the desk...
HIRSCH (CONT'D)
You haven't slept for a long time
have you David? Have you made a
decision? This can't go on, you
know. You have to decide.
BOURNE
Who is he?
HIRSCH
We've been through that.
BOURNE
What did he do?
HIRSCH
It doesn't matter.
(beat)
You came to us. You volunteered.
You said you'd do anything it
takes to save American lives.
You're not a liar are you? Or too
weak to see this through? This is
it. Let go of David Webb. Will
you give yourself to this
program?
101
Bourne looks down, a gun in his hand. He gets to his feet
swiftly and fires the pistol several times into a hooded
figure. The man slumps over.
Bourne stares at what he's done.
HIRSCH (CONT'D)
You're no longer David Webb.
From now on you'll be known as
Jason Bourne. Welcome to the
program.
Daniels pulls the hood off the figure to show that he is
dead.
Just then Kramer walks through the door.
KRAMER
He's ready. Send him to
Operations.
322 PRESENT 322
And now, in real time, Bourne comes out of the flashback.
He stares back at Hirsch....
HIRSCH
Do you remember now?
Bourne lowers the gun.
BOURNE
I remember. I remember
everything.
HIRSCH
You can't outrun what you did,
Jason. You made yourself into
who you are.
BOURNE
I'm done running. That's why
I'm here. To end you, to shut
this down. I'm no longer Jason
Bourne.
HIRSCH
So now you're going to kill me?
BOURNE
No. You don't deserve the star
they give you on the wall at
Langley.
Just then Bourne spins -- agents arrive at the door. It's
locked.
102
322 INT. HALLWAY 322
The agents fire at the door handle to get it open.
322 INT. ROOM WHERE BOURNE FIRST MET HIRSCH 322
Bourne looks out a window. Sees the layout of a roof
several stories below. Then he turns and shoots out the
room's mirrored observation window. Bourne dives through
it just as agents rush in and open fire at him.
SERIES OF SHOTS
Bourne races through corridors, loosing the CRI agents.
352 EXT. ROOF -- NIGHT 352
Bourne runs out onto the roof. Rushes across it to look
over the edge. It's a straight drop to the FDR -- 12
stories down.
He races to another ledge -- the East River below him. But
he has to clear a 10 foot supporting wall at the base of
the building to hit the water. He backs up to get a
running leap.
As he does, he turns and sees Paz, who is holding a gun on
him.
PAZ
Why didn't you take the shot?
Bourne looks at him.
BOURNE
Do you even know why you're
trying to kill me? Look at what
they make you give.
Bourne turns and runs off the roof.
Paz fires into the air...
FOLLOW Bourne as he drops fourteen stories into the
freezing river--
MULTIPLE ANGLES -- Bourne goes into the river...
352 UNDERWATER 352
Bourne in a dead man's float...as his clothes soak through
he begins to sink....

356 INT. BAR -- URUGUAY -- SUNSET 356
Nicky goes to the bar of at a low end tourist bar with
several other customers. She stands there, eyes fixed on
a TV behind the bar:
ANCHOR 5 (V.O., CONT'D)
Webb, who was known inside the
intelligence community, as "Jason
Bourne" jumped from the
fourteenth floor of the CIA
facility where he was trained in
New York into the East River
below. While experts say it
would be nearly impossible to
survive the fall, despite two
weeks of efforts, his body has
still not been recovered.
PUSH in on the smile that develops on Nicky's face. As we
CUE the Moby "Extreme Ways" sting---

And Bourne swims away...
